microtuner external for Max/MSP

The microtuner object here enclosed is the evolution of the mtx_loader object, i.e. a Max object that can be used as a "variable mtof" MIDI-to-frequency converter, and that can read mtx tuning text files (native tuning text file format of Max Magic Microtuner).

With respect to mtx_loader, this new microtuner object includes several new features, like the "et" message (to create n-tone stretched equal tempered scales automatically) and the pitch bend/modulation limit outlets.

Please note this is OS X Universal Binary only at the moment and a self-explanatory Max help patch is included. In case anybody is willing to compile a Windows version please let me know so that I’ll post the source code.

Just compiled both the Mtx_loader and Microtuner objects for Windows using the Cygwin gcc compiler. To sum up, all the latest versions of these microtuning externals for both platforms and related downloads can be found here:
